A background investigation of the man arrested for the kidnapping and attempted murder of British tourist Kathryn Jones has turned up the suspect`s real name and warrants for his arrest on three other attacks on women, police said.

Although he had identified himself as Timothy Wallace after his May 22 arrest, Hollywood and Miami Beach detectives determined the suspect`s real name is Michael Dwayne Siebert, an 18-year-old from Churchton, Md.

The investigation turned up three warrants issued for Siebert by law enforcement agencies in Prince George County, Md., including an assault with a knife with the intent to commit murder on Dec. 21, 1985, said Hollywood police spokesman Paul Dungan.

Siebert, a high school dropout who was last seen by his parents in Maryland last December, is also wanted in connection with a rape on Dec. 30 and kidnapping with a handgun on Dec. 24, Dungan said.

Siebert was charged with abducting Jones from a phone booth in Miami Beach on May 12. She was found the next day severely beaten and abandoned in a wooded area in Hollywood.
